10 Must Have Baby Products of 2024:
Top must-have of 2024: Buddle’s Diaper Rash Prevention and Treatment System
We’ve said it before, but stop what you’re doing and put this incredible new product system in your cart. Buddle revolutionizes baby skincare via its collaboration with pediatric dermatologists and microbiome experts. Their clinically-proven products (so adorably named the Clean Cheek Foam Cleanser, Rash Rescue Healing Paste, and Bottom Buddy Diaper Cream!) effectively clean, protect, and treat diaper rash. Make this your #1 must-have addition to your parenting toolkit this year.
Why we love it: Aside from the wonderful attributes mentioned above, we cannot overlook the thoughtful design element of removing hard edges from the product and using only rounded ones. This attention to detail ensures an extra level of safety and comfort, eliminating any potential for unnecessary pokes or discomfort.
Must have baby products of 2024: Travel/on-the-go
Any time we can discover products that make our lives easier on-the-go with kids - especially when traveling! - is an A+. These are the all-stars we’re adding to our must-haves list.
It has the largest surface area of any travel cribs currently available, is super easy to assemble, and has an optional zip-in bassinet insert.
Why we love it: All components are washable. (Enough said.)
Must have baby products of 2024: Strollers
Anything from Zoe Strollers
To say we fell deeply in love with Zoe Strollers this year is an understatement. Not only did we test-drive their fleet at the 2024 Mom 2.0 Summit, but we immediately added three to our collection:
The Tour: A sleek and compact stroller designed for on-the-go adventures.
The Twin: A versatile double stroller perfect for littles close in age.
The Traveler: An ultra-lightweight and portable stroller for frequent travelers and city (or CityMom!) dwellers.
Why we love them: The mod color options and design are a plus. But it’s Zoe’s easy portability that’s quickly transformed this stroller brand into our go-tos to grab.
Must have baby products of 2024: Feeding
Here’s another 2023 debut picking up steam with our CityMoms, and quickly. This double electric pump is perfect for moms who plan to pump multiple times through the day. It also comes packed with a ton of accessories so you don’t have to buy separately.
Why we love it: It’s so quiet!
Each of these trays holds up to 2oz of breastmilk in .25oz portions (which reduces waste!) and drops fit perfectly into both standard and wide-neck bottles.
Why we love it: They stack compactly and easily in the freezer for easy access.
Must have baby products of 2024: Carriers
We named the TushBaby our must-have baby product for 2023, and now we’re obsessed with it’s new Snug attachment. The soft wrap keeps babies, well, snug, and allows parents a little more use of hands where needed.
Why we love it: The wide straps make it so comfortable to wear. Click below for a savings up to 20% off yours!

This unique carrier - designed by a mom! - combines a belt bag and hip cushion in one. The wide belt helps displace kiddo’s weight, no matter their position from front-facing to nursing.
Why we love it: It’s a total lifesaver for our backs, plus allows kids the light freedom to get up and down without unbuckling car seat or stroller straps.

Must have baby products of 2024: Healthcare
Finally, an electric nasal aspirator - developed by a Pediatric ENT! - that provides hospital-grade suction level for effective relief from baby’s nasal congestion.
Why we love it: Frankly, because it works, and fast.
This cough syrup soothes dry throats and promotes peaceful sleep for babies 6 months and older. The new formula options feature agave or honey, zinc, and chamomile. Plus it’s free from drugs, artificial ingredients, and gluten.
Why we love it: Maybe because it’s designed by a pediatrician? Or maybe because it works.
